“Dr. Anthony Fauci predicted Sunday that America will be "as close to back to normal as we can" by next Mother’s Day if certain conditions are met. (Fox News) “Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the White House's chief medical adviser, made the prediction during ABC’s "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos, who had asked him to "give everyone a sense of what the country is going to look like next Mother’s Day.” "I hope that next Mother’s Day, we’re going to see a dramatic difference than what we’re seeing right now. I believe that we will be about as close to back to normal as we can. And there’s some conditions to that, George," Fauci said during the segment. "We’ve got to make sure that we get the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated.”Depopulation King, Bill Gates, now being in the midst of divorce doldrums, Fauci is running with the vaxx ball.
“When the majority of Americans are vaccinated, he said, COVID-19 "doesn't really have any place to go.” (Fox News) "There aren’t a lot of vulnerable people around. And where there are not a lot of vulnerable people around, you’re not going to see a surge. You’re not going to see the kinds of numbers we see now," he said. "That being the case, I think we can approach what we use to remember as normal before all of this tragedy happened.”

“We’ve had practically a nonexistent flu season this year merely because people were doing the kinds of public health things that were directed predominantly against COVID-19,” he added. "He also explained the country could only truly move forward in a post-coronavirus world if most of the population receives the vaccine.What about coming up with a cure for the common cold?
“I mean, if we get, which we will, to the goals that the president has established — namely, if we get 70% of the people vaccinated by the Fourth of July, namely one single dose and even more thereafter — you may see blips, but if we handle them well, it is unlikely that you’ll see the kind of surge that we saw in the late fall and the early winter,” he said. (Washington Examiner) “The fact that we have vaccines right now … is really a game-changer,” Fauci added. "If these sorts of vaccination levels are not met, then the chance increases for a coronavirus surge, he said.”
“The Canadian Paediatric Society is calling on the Ontario provincial government to “immediately” reopen outdoor recreation spaces, saying the closure is having “devastating effects” on children and youth amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “In an open letter posted to Twitter on Friday, the society said it “cannot overstate the extent of the mental health crisis facing our children and youth.” "We cannot overstate the extent of the #mentalhealth crisis facing children and youth.” “Our clinics and hospitals are overrun with families seeking care for children and youth in distress — eating disorders, anxiety, hopelessness, depression, problematic substance use and more.” “The letter is addressed to Premier Doug Ford, Education Minister Stephen Lecce and Sport Minister Lisa McLeod. “The ban on outdoor recreational facilities began in April, when the province imposed tighter restrictions and extended a stay-at-home order as new cases of the virus surged. “The paediatric society said it wrote the provincial government last month to express its concerns saying the measures would “further confine Ontario’s children and youth to their homes.”
“The province did allow playgrounds to reopen, but the Canadian Paediatric society said that’s not enough. “Although you reopened playgrounds, a range of spaces are still off-limits to children and youth, including soccer pitches, baseball diamonds and basketball courts,” the letter reads. “The letter says outdoor recreational spaces should immediately reopen, “unless (the government has) data showing these venues are sources of virus transmission.” “What’s more, experts have argued that the risk of COVID-19 transmission outdoors is much lower than during indoor activities. “You know, you’re taking away the safe options from people as you do nothing to impact the places where the disease is spreading at a time when our ICUs (intensive care units) are literally collapsing,” Dr. David Fisman, a professor at the University of Toronto and member of Ontario’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, told Global News in a previous interview. “Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious diseases faculty member at the University of Toronto echoed Fisman’s remarks, saying closing recreational activities “does not make sense.” “Outdoor activities are vital for mental & physical health, especially with stay-at-home orders,” he wrote in a tweet after the announcement. “Science is clear: Outdoor COVID transmission is extremely rare,” he said. “However, on Tuesday, Ontario’s Health Minister Christine Elliot said such facilities will remain closed until the province’s cases drop significantly. “We need to limit our mobility as much as possible to reduce transmission and we are going to be assessing this,” she said during a press conference. “But for right now we will need to continue with those measures in place to reduce mobility and reduce transmission.”Someday governments like the one now ruling Ontario will pay the price for what they did to our children. It will come a lot sooner than they think, and Demoralizer Dr. Anthony Fauci will leave them to their own fate, being too busy doing another ABC-style television interview.
